I can’t even tell you how it pains me to say it, but I think you are right.

What exactly did he say that you find fault with?

Interestingly, Keith Olbermann exploited this interview as a means to discredit conservative viewpoints the two most important being, first,the notion that Obama is a Manchurian Marxist and, second, the assertion that Obama is not a natural born citizen and, hence,unqualified for the office.

Olbermann is exceedingly intellectually dishonest as he does this. For example, he claims that "birth certificate" and presents on screen a document which on close examination reveals that it is a, "certificate of life birth." Of course,Olbermann does not even discussthe underlying issue whether under Hawaii law such a document is in fact sufficient to establish birth within the state.

But the point is that Olbermann uses Alan Keyes as a foil and describes him as a "right wing wingnut." My problem with these objections to Alan Keyes is that I am Ordinarily unpersuaded by the ad hominem and want to see real proof and actual facts.

By a fortuitous circumstance Alan Keyes is black, therefore Olbermann must use other methods to demean a conservative, in this case by attacking his sanity.

I invite you to watch the Olbermann video which is revealing for what it leaves out as well as for its demagoguery:
